`Net Guy’ Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski seems to share the same problem as Big Sis US Secretary of Homeland Janet Napolitano: both give a free ride to al-Qaeda, training their investigative skills only on rank and file Americans.
Groping continues at airports and spying on Americans in other venues is expanding.
And in the foofaraw of Genachowski’s debut into Internet regulation, al-Qaeda has a make-your-own bomb manual on the Internet.
“The 102-page manual, seen by the Daily Telegraph and available on the internet, explains how to find ingredients from everyday sources and how to mix explosives, including those used in the July 7 bombings and the recent ink cartridge bomb found at East Midlands airport.” (
Telegraph.co.uk), Dec. 31, 2010).
A sort of Bombs for Dummies, it has been assessed by Alexander Meleagrou-Hitchens, an expert in radicalisation at King’s College, London as “the most lengthy and sophisticated manuals of its kind”.
“The manual is the first detailed guidance produced in English by al-Qaeda “central” based in Pakistan and follows some basic instructions called “How to make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom” produced by al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsular as part of an English-language magazine.” Mr. Meleagrou-Hitchens, a fellow for the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation and Political Violence, said the manual gave highly detailed instructions and illustrations on manufacturing explosives, concentrating on substances that are “easily procurable for any person living in Western, urban centres”.”
Nor can Net Guy Genachowski claim that the news of al-Qaeda’s bomb manual on the internet came as a New Year’s Eve bombshell from the Daily Telegraph.
On July 20, 2007 a how-to guide for tracking terrorists online by expert codename “Archangel” was published as a
cover story on Canada Free Press (CFP).
“In six years I have bookmarked some 6,000-plus jihadist websites and the list is still growing,” said Archangel.
Archangel described the reason why the Worldwide Internet is so vital and valuable to terrorists as quite simple: “It has removed the need for a physical terrorist training camp,” Archangel said. “When the United States went into Afghanistan after 9/11, the primary targets being bombed and raided were the long established terrorist training camps scattered throughout Afghanistan. Once we had destroyed the camps, al-Qaeda then simply went online.
“It gave them mobility, secrecy and allows for training new recruits and allows for further training of existing members. The jihadists communicate through these websites. They post training manuals, films, documents and data, all for each other to use freely to further the cause of Islamic Jihad.”
We have not heard about terrorists online in Julian Genachowski’s push to regulate Internet access.
It’s 2011 and we live in a world made more dangerous and deceitful now that the White House is run by the strategy of Marxism; a world where it cannot even be proven where the current president was born or how and where he was educated.
In the event of an engineered crisis leading to martial law, who would be able to prove where its origin?
